How the 9 Enneagram types perceive giving feedback

Feedback and the Enneagram

Almost every person and every organization exist in a feedback deficit; people simply do not understand their impact on others or on their work and so they have to guess, often incorrectly, about their effectiveness. Most companies find it easier to train people than to offer them real-time positive and negative feedback, both of which can have a far deeper impact on a person’s behavior.

The Enneagram’s feedback application enables you to learn how to give effective feedback to others of the 9 types, as well as how to both use your Enneagram-based strengths and avoid the typical errors that go with your style when giving feedback to others.
